Ask Gigascale Anything: Early Commercialization Fundamentals
Online - 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Join us for an informal, virtual gathering for early stage founders (and those considering starting something new) to explore commercializing your deep tech solutions with Gigascale Capital's partnerships team, Aaron Bernstein and Nishant Bagadia.
Bringing novel technologies to market is tough, and navigating complex sectors like energy and industry can be even harder.
Getting smart early on the proof points your first customers will want to see can tip the scales in your favor.
- What's the right way to think about commercialization in the earliest stages of your product development?
- When and how should you approach your first prospective partner?
- What can you do early on to ensure you're building something partners will pay for?
Aaron and Nishant have successfully catalyzed new technologies through strategic partnerships for decades, and they're here to get your questions answered. Tactical or strategic there are no dumb questions here.
Space is limited. Please answer a few brief questions to apply for a spot.
